I have just created this scene of the sun setting by following the tutorial:

I think it is a quick way of creating various sky effects, but the only downside I have found is that rendering takes much longer and it seems that the sky does not show up in the video file, unless you save it as a video sequence in FCheck.

I am also trying to explore ways of playing with the colour of the sky itself to get a more red texture and also methods of including clouds.
